The US Supreme Court has rejected a bid by anti-abortion groups and doctors to restrict access to the abortion pill, handing a victory to President Joe Biden’s administration in its efforts to preserve broad access to the drug.

The plaintiffs targeted FDA regulatory actions in 2016 and 2021, including allowing for medication abortions at up to 10 weeks of pregnancy instead of seven, and for mail delivery of the drug without a woman first seeing a clinician in person. The suit initially had sought to reverse FDA approval of mifepristone, but that aspect was rebuffed by a lower court. The case represented another front in the intensifying battle over abortion rights in the United States.
